Instructions

The Highland Harbinger is a bold, spirit-forward cocktail that pays homage to the classic Old Fashioned while incorporating the rich, woody notes of additional aged spirits. With its complex flavor profile, this drink offers depth and warmth, perfect for savoring during a quiet evening or as an after-dinner indulgence. Ingredients: - 2 oz Aged Scotch Whisky (preferably single malt with a robust profile) - 1/2 oz Cognac (select a VSOP for its wood-aged character) - 1/4 oz Dark Rum (aged, to add a touch of sweetness and complexity) - 1/4 oz Maple Syrup (for a natural woodsy sweetness) - 2 dashes Angostura Bitters - 1 dash Orange Bitters - Orange peel (for garnish) - Luxardo Maraschino Cherry (for garnish) - Ice (preferably a large cube or sphere to minimize dilution) Glass: - Old Fashioned Glass Instructions: 1. In the Old Fashioned glass, combine Scotch Whisky, Cognac, Dark Rum, Maple Syrup, Angostura Bitters, and Orange Bitters. 2. Fill the glass with a large ice cube or sphere to chill the drink without diluting it too quickly. 3. Stir the mixture gently for 20-30 seconds to combine the flavors and chill the drink. 4. Express the orange peel over the drink by twisting it to release the oils, then run the peel around the rim of the glass before dropping it in. 5. Garnish with a Luxardo Maraschino Cherry on a cocktail pick. 6. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, layered experience that the Highland Harbinger provides. The combination of Scotch Whisky, Cognac, and Dark Rum creates a tapestry of wood-infused flavors, each contributing its unique notes to the overall profile. The maple syrup offers a nod to the woodland origins of these liquors, while the bitters lend the classic cocktail complexity. This drink is not just a beverage but an experience, best enjoyed slowly to appreciate the intricate dance of tastes and aromas.
